Does it even matter?<br />It matters if this memo, will be used by Trump to fire Rosenstein and Mueller.<br />&nbsp;I suspect that's what the whole thing is for. But, I digress.<br />Corrupt politicians on both sides-both parties, were busy passing the<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act" target="_blank"> FISA Act</a> to spy on us all, while they sat on this memo.<br />&nbsp;No mention of all these awful abuses until Trump signed the FISA Act. So, what we know is that it's ok for everyone else to be spied on.<br /><a href="https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=12E0BD0A-B549-43ED-B42E-594EDBE182C1" target="_blank">McCain came out and says</a> this memo serves Putin, and outright says Russia interfered in our election.<br />&nbsp;I can only guess that since Nunes got the memo out, now the gloves are off and McCain is pissed.<br />But he didn't open his mouth before this and voted for that FISA Bill and expanded the powers of the surveillance state.<br />That much is clear.<br />All this is, is a political stunt to help Trump, they do not care about helping us.<br />They don't care about national security, it is their own security they are worried about.<br />As long as the government has the power to spy on us, we are all being abused.<br />Guess what?<br />Even with all this spying it's looking as if Russia got away with this interference, so what's the use of all this? Joe Blow down the street ain't talking to Putin, but it's looking like Trump did and there's a big investigation.<br />How does it feel to be spied on Trump?<br />The sponsor of the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4478" target="_blank">FISA Reauthorisation Act</a> was none other than Devin Nunes.<br />Are we supposed to think he gives a damn about people getting spied on and government abuse of taxpayers when he knew all along about this alleged abuse?<br />None of them care, least of all him.<br />"<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/nunes-memo-latest-trump-declassification-publication-republican-intelligence-report-fbi-russia-a8191756.html" target="_blank">A lot of people should be ashamed</a>"<br />But you aren't are you Trump?<br />You might as well have signed your own FISA Warrant.<br />How does it feel?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3Xz7WfVYxok/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Xz7WfVYxok?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-18982387997743873242018-02-01T20:02:00.000-05:002018-02-01T20:11:12.138-05:00Friday Night Memo MassacreOh, of course, it's going to be the Friday memo release.<br />This way, Trump is hoping it's all going away over the weekend.<br />&nbsp;After a week of Secret Societies, the Grand Inquisitor, Secret Society-Grand Poobah, Trey Gowdy, decides he's not going to go for re-election.<br />Uh-huh.<br />He is the <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S._Congress_incumbents_who_are_not_running_for_re-election_in_2018" target="_blank">37th GOPer</a> not to seek re-election.<br />So, Trump has <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5341019/Trump-declassify-explosive-memo-send-Intel-Friday.html" target="_blank">kicked the memo back to Congress</a> and it looks like it's going to be <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/371891-furor-grows-over-nunes-intel-memo" target="_blank">read at a pro forma session at 4:30 Friday afternoon.</a><br />The real question is why didn't Trump just release it himself?<br />Could it be that it's all a "<a href="https://www.axios.com/rising-white-house-fear-nunes-memo-is-a-dud-1517518110-483bac89-a164-4aa9-8841-97f6d3329005.html" target="_blank">dud</a>"?

So there's that.<br />I know damn well Trump wants to fire Mueller,<br />&nbsp;First he's probably going to fire or get rid of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, maybe with this Nunes memo.<br />Rod Rosenstein was the one who decided to have Carter Page, a foreign policy advisor to Trump, monitored through the FISA application he approved.<br />According to <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/devin-nunes-controversy/551792/" target="_blank">The Atlantic</a>, Nunes himself was under investigation by the Ethics Committee last year, about breaking rules of public disclosure.<br />This was about "American Intelligence monitoring American officials, that may have picked up communications of Trump's transition team members."<br />Is this the FISA memo, or the Nunes memo?. Is this how long this has been going on, since last April?<br />The committee was never able to see any of the classified information, but hey, Nunes, that's ok. They cleared Nunes of anything unethical, even though they couldn't fully investigate everything or anything.<br />Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd says releasing the memo is "reckless" without a review, but since now it's been reviewed it's A-ok. I guess.<br />&nbsp;Trump thinks it's going to "shed light" and bring the investigation to a conclusion.<br />This, I have to see.<br />Could this be the same sort of "reckless" handling of classified information, Trump has been going on about Crooked Hillary doing?<br />If he has the power in one memo, to stop this Russia investigation,<br />I mean, why wait so long?<br />Glen Greenwald&nbsp; says there are<a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/01/19/republicans-have-four-easy-ways-to-releasethememo-and-the-evidence-for-it-not-doing-so-will-prove-them-to-be-shameless-frauds/" target="_blank"> four easy ways</a> this memo could be released. #1 is that Trump can declassify anything he wants. #2 the House Intel Committee could declassify it.

He doesn't seem to know what he's doing or why he's doing it.<br />So now he sits in the White House moaning and complaining that he can't go to parties or out golfing.

Maybe that's better than him actually doing something. ( I worked in a company where the V.P. would sleep all afternoon in his office with the door open. Executive Time! We would even take pictures of him)<br />Also, Senator Dianne Feinstein, released the testimony of Glen Simpson, head of Fusion GPS about the Steele Dossier.<br />In return for that favor, Trump had to be talked down from giving North Korea a <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/12/21/us-preparing-bloody-nose-attack-on-north-korea/" target="_blank">"bloody nose"</a> nuclear attack.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/13/13-HI-false-alarm-missile-threat.w710.h473.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="675" height="263" src="https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/13/13-HI-false-alarm-missile-threat.w710.h473.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Yesterday. some rocket scientist pushed the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/13/hawaii-ballistic-missile-threat-alert-false-alarm" target="_blank">wrong button in Hawaii</a>, sending a state population&nbsp; reeling, looking for refuge or just plain hiding under desks, like the good old days.<br />Are you kidding me?<br />&nbsp;Let me get this straight.<br />Some lone nuclear warning "button" nut, just "accidentally" clicked on the wrong message button and proliferated a mass text about a nuclear missile heading to Hawaii that took 38 minutes to correct. .<br />Yeah, Ok.<br />I don't know about anyone else, but I have to click three times when transferring money at the bank.<br />So how is this possible?<br />On <a href="http://www.hawaiicounty.gov/active-alerts/" target="_blank">County of Hawaii website</a> it explains, that this 'button" or mass text, happened during a shift change. (Isn't that interesting? So the initiator absconded or was the initiator fresh on duty?)<br />Why was a routine test initiated during a shift change? Why wouldn't you wait till the shift changed, or was that the point? To initiate this during a time when every one was trying to get their coffee and get ready for the day?<br />&nbsp;Makes no sense.<br />&nbsp;But, it does make sense if you want to just click and run.<br />I counted six actions to cancel this warning. But there was no information on how this process is initiated. No process of review for when you initiate this kind of warning.<br />&nbsp;How's that for weird? No chain of command for that warning to come from.<br />Just a random employee sends out a random missile threat.<br />Who is the "employee" who did this?<br />Maybe this happens all the time, and these missile attack texts are common, except, I cant find another example of this happening.<br />We have all kinds of information about how people reacted, but we have no information about the "employee" who did this? The "whole state was terrified" and there has to be "accountability."<br />Oh, I'll just bet. This incident will just fade away.<br />&nbsp;No one will be accountable, if its even true, that one person was accountable.<br />Because the story is it's "human error"<br />Could this have been some kind of test to see how long it would take for people to react and maybe get to safety? Are there fall out shelters available? Did they think the population would run amuck and what? Go looting? Were they studying a reaction and other variables?<br />Anyone, who trusts any official. at this point, has to be on some drug or drinking some kind of Kool-Aid I haven't been able to purchase.<br />I don't know if this was some kind of normalcy bias experiment, to soften up people to expect a nuclear attack, but really, this has been going on for a year now with Trump's tweet's and videos of missiles, on both sides Dotard, on both sides.<br />Whats the point of this technology? You can click the wrong thing and cause chaos, completely anonymously, as if we can outrun a nuclear attack or survive a nuclear winter.<br />If I lived in Hawaii, I would be really pissed. Especially if I had young children.<br />I get that Donald Nuclear Dotard has been useless when it comes to any kind of diplomacy.<br />Now, it's pretty much understood, you can forget about state and local officials too. (If you ever could trust them, to do anything but hire their relatives, but that's a whole other story.)<br />I doubt anyone will ever find out who was responsible for yesterdays debacle, because no one is accountable anymore. The next set of tweet's will erase this from people's memory. This will go down the memory hole.

Why now?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thenewsflasher.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/trump-bannon-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://thenewsflasher.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/trump-bannon-1.jpg" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="615" height="216" width="320" /></a></div>If you read Fire and Fury, (I did it in one day, after the Wikileaks dump) most of the source for that book is Bannon.<br />I am thinking that it was his remarks about Donny Jr. and the Russian meeting that is making him run for the hills.<br />Also implicit in Fire And Fury, was a desperate need for Ivanka and Jared (Jared attended the infamous meeting with Donny Jr.) to cover their asses.<br />In that book, they were responsible for either people resigning or getting fired, and THEY were the ones responsible for hiring the DISASTER of Scaramucci "the Mooch."<br />In the the book, it was common knowledge that Trump never thought he'd win the election.<br />&nbsp;No one in his family did either.<br />This is why he never thought he'd have to release his taxes or disclose any of his shady deals.<br />Back to The Steele Dossier, Christopher Steele, MI6 spy, thought Donald Trump was <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/747628/christopher-steele-went-fbi-dossier-fear-that-trump-being-blackmailed" target="_blank">being blackmailed</a>. that is why he went to the FBI.<br />So, the reason we are now in possession of The Steele Dossier, is because Fusion GPS, asked that it be released in its entirety, because of the leaks that have been going on. Senator Feinstein, obliged.<br />Senator Grassley is very angry about this.<br />&nbsp;Why?<br />Because he is allegedly the leaker.<br />According to what we know, the GOP discredited this dossier, because it was research funded by Hillary Clinton (the DNC). However, because the FBI "<a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/3-bombshells-in-the-leaked-testimony-on-trump-and-russia.html" target="_blank">had intelligence about the same thing</a>" it was considered credible by the intelligence agency.<br />To be clear, some of this goes back to the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, The <a href="http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/07/emin_agalarov_russia_pop_star_trump.html" target="_blank">Agalarov</a>/Crocus Group that invited Trump, at the Miss USA pageant, has Russian intelligence ties. It is not a crime, that I know of. But this is where we get the context of Trump being in a room, that was a Presidential Suite, President Obama stayed in. and there's a video tape, of urinating hookers, that Russia has been blackmailing Trump with, it wouldn't surprise me.<br />What a convoluted, sorry story.<br />Either, this is some kind of massive frame up of Trump, with the Fire And Fury book, and on the heels of it, The Steele Dossier has been disclosed.<br />&nbsp;In order to get Trump away from that big nuclear button that's on his desk.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/trumpfamily-0a0680e3-ea21-45c5-a9ad-c51fec63dffa.jpg?crop=0px%2C229px%2C3000px%2C1574px&amp;resize=1200%2C630&amp;ssl=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="800" height="336" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/trumpfamily-0a0680e3-ea21-45c5-a9ad-c51fec63dffa.jpg?crop=0px%2C229px%2C3000px%2C1574px&amp;resize=1200%2C630&amp;ssl=1" width="640" /></a></div>Or, it's all true, what Michael Wolff wrote in his book and this family is just that stupid and thought they could get away with all these sketchy, shady deals and secrets.<br />If it is true, then it isn't going to be whatever crimes committed, but the ensuing firing of Comey and the lying to obfuscate and cover up.<br />Its always the cover up.<br />What I am going to watch for, is what Trump will do to keep everyone distracted, so far it's an immigration bill that's "<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/368107-trump-daca-solution-should-be-a-bill-of-love" target="_blank">a bill of love</a>.".

How in the world did he get access?<br />It's no secret that Murdoch and Trump run in the same circles.<br />Ivanka was very good friends with Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng. The Murdoch's attended Ivanka and Jared's wedding&nbsp; Jared Kushner, is close to Murdoch. they talk to each other weekly. Could Kushner have anything to do with Wolff having been given carte blanche at the White House? If they are that close, wouldn't they have been aware of Wolff's work?<br />Trump and Murdoch have a lot in common, they both inherited fortunes and went to military school.<br />Murdoch and Trump also seem to have some profound differences, one being immigration, and if this<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Fury-Inside-Trump-White/dp/1250158060" target="_blank"> Fire &amp; Fury</a> book has any truth to it, Murdoch has called Trump a f*%$ing idiot over immigration. He has also called Trump "embarrassing" and "wrong" and it's been rumored that Murdoch had asked the late Roger Ailes to "<a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/07/on-trump-murdoch-has-lost-control-of-ailes-fox.html" target="_blank">stop promoting Trump so heavily</a>" on Fox News.<br />&nbsp;According to Tina Brown (Former CEO of the Daily Beast) Murdoch "<a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tina-brown-rupert-murdoch-will-throw-trump-under-the-bus-when-hes-not-useful/article/2640833" target="_blank">will throw Trump under the bus when he's no longer useful</a>."<br />If, Trump is not towing the line that Murdoch thinks Trump should, I am wondering if he would back someone like Michael Wolff and this book?

Because it's not lost on me that there's a connection between Wolff and Murdoch. Is it possible that these people in the White House just don't read so they were unaware of Wolff?<br />During the presidential campaign, Murdoch initially,<a href="http://www.tampabay.com/jeb-bush-has-a-fan-in-rupert-murdoch/2215400" target="_blank"> was a Jeb Bush fan</a>, being the globalists they both are, that's not surprising. I can't think of a more useful idiot.<br />Murdoch has privately called Trump "phony" Trump threatened to sue Murdoch (surprise) over a New York Post story. (Murdoch owns the Post) It's also been reported that Murdoch<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/rupert-murdoch-urges-donald-trump-fire-steve-bannon-a7895051.html" target="_blank"> pushed Trump to fire Steve Bannon</a>.<br />Once upon a time Murdoch was friends,very good friends with Tony Blair, such good friends that Tony Blair is godfather to one of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/sep/06/tony-blair-godparents-power-networking" target="_blank">Murdochs children</a>. There were also some very strange rumors that Tony Blair and Murdoch's then wife, were having an affair. Now the Murdoch's and Blair's <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/feb/14/tony-blair-rupert-murdoch-deconstruction-friendship-wendi-deng" target="_blank">no longer have any contact.</a><br />Murdoch is a person who likes useful idiots.<br />So why this book? Why now?<br />Is Trump no longer useful and this is part of some kind of takedown of Trump? Will it even matter?<br />Is this all just some distraction that will be forgotten about, once Donald Trump starts tweeting about the big button on his desk again?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/ap_18004705453152.jpg?w=446&amp;h=299&amp;crop=1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="299" data-original-width="446" height="427" src="https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/ap_18004705453152.jpg?w=446&amp;h=299&amp;crop=1" width="640" /></a></div><br />&nbsp;And just what is this Orwellian, Wizard of Oz thing that's going on here? This was just another example of the White House creep factor. The president is in a room right next door, and he can't come out and speak his mind? He's never had a problem with that before. Is he a hostage somewhere in Michael Wolff's basement?&nbsp; I am really glad I don't vote anymore. If this is what you get. I never even watched The Apprentice, let alone something like this. Huckabee might as well be on The Walking Dead. She acts like this is normal, like a good zombie.

Already the rubes in my town in South Jersey are horrified, that we could have a retail establishment selling it. I live in the epicenter of the opioid epidemic in Ocean County, New Jersey. I am not sure how they think legal cannabis could make anything worse, because it's been proven that it <a href="https://www.projectcbd.org/about/plant-medicine-vs-big-pharma/americas-opiate-crisis-how-medical-cannabis-can-help" target="_blank">helps people get off opioids </a>and makes withdrawal symptoms easier. Which is probably why big pharma wants to keep it illegal.<br />Still, this is progress, a good way to start 2018.<br />&nbsp;I noticed 2017's events, started out pretty slow, we had a <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2017/01/grabbing-pandoras-box.html" target="_blank">pink hatted women's march </a>in January, I predicted we wouldn't be hearing from them again.<br />Then we had the <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2017/01/trumpistan.html" target="_blank">90 day Immigration Ban</a> and more protests.<br />Spring, unfortunately, opened with the Westminster attack and a failed North Korea missile launch on <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/09/09/20/38210A2000000578-0-image-a-8_1473447631081.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/09/09/20/38210A2000000578-0-image-a-8_1473447631081.jpg" data-original-height="543" data-original-width="634" height="273" width="320" /></a></div>March 22. From then on it was more videos of North Korea missiles and the U.S. would fire back with another missile video.<br />I only saw stuff on the internet, I can't imagine what the Fox and CNN fear porn channels were showing, but I am sure it was more fear, fear, fear!<br />In April, Bill O'Reilly bit the dust, the first of many abusers to fall.<br />Good riddance to all of these awful, horrible animals who can't behave like civilized people.<br />By Aprils end, North Korea just about bombed itself with another failed missile launch that never left it's country. Not to be outdone,Trump launched the <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2017/04/a-piece-of-cake.html" target="_blank">MOAB bomb on a Syrian airfield </a>and more on some Afghan tunnels.<br />May, brought the election in France of Macron.<br />Trump fired James Comey, the FBI raided a Republican fund raising firm in Annapolis, Maryland and New Orleans took down a statue of Jefferson Davis, more would come down in other states.<br />In May, we saw the release of Chelsea Manning. The best thing I thought Obama did.<br />Nothing Obama did, had any effect on my daily life. I could not afford his health care.<br />&nbsp;Trump, really doesn't effect me either, other than he's just plain ignorant. That didn't seem to matter to most of the people I know who voted for him. And so it goes. By the end of May, 7 people were fired by Trump.<br />We closed out May with the Times Square attack, a place I have been many times. I felt so badly for the people that had to go through that.<br />Don't forget Kathy Griffin and her career destroying mock-beheading.of Trump.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b80I2ahNp_Q/hqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="240" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b80I2ahNp_Q/hqdefault.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />June opened with Trump announcing withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Accord and Elon Musk quitting as an advisor to Trump. There was the London Bridge Terror Attack, the Notre Dame attack in Paris.<br />&nbsp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Raqqa_(2017)" target="_blank">The Battle of Raqqa</a> began it's final phase U.S. backed democratic forces in Syria, captured Raqqa, leaving 80% of the city uninhabitable.<br />The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Arena_bombing" target="_blank">bombing in Manchester</a> occurred on May 22, 23 people died, over 500 wounded.<br />In June the Comey hearings would begin, Trump would announce his choice of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_A._Wray" target="_blank">Christopher Wray</a> as nominee to be director of the FBI. A holdover from the George W. Bush days, same as it ever was.<br />North Korea fired more missiles and South Korea turned down America's THAAD anti missile service after Trump suggested they pay $1 billion for it. Art of the deal and all.<br />Also in June, poor Puerto Rico voted to request that the island become a state. I feel so sorry for those people, sadly, I don't even know if being a state would help them now. I have been there, it's a beautiful place with amazing people. It's a disgrace how we treat them.<br />Also in June, the awful Grenfell fire. Another disgrace.<br />Who didn't cry when they saw those pictures? There are no words. 71 people perished, but police believe it was more like 80. I doubt they really knew how many people were in that building.<br />The worst part is, it didn't have to happen.<br />Back in the U.S. we had congressman Steve Scalise (R-La) shot practicing that great old American pastime, baseball. 5 other people were injured. Police killed the lone gunman crazy person, gee really? Again? Sigh.<br />&nbsp;200 members of the Democratic Party in the U.S. Congress filed a lawsuit claiming Trump profits from business dealings from other countries in violation of the Emolument Act.

So <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/12/22/572791710/emoluments-lawsuit-against-trump-dismissed" target="_blank">that was dismissed</a>, but I am guessing some lawyers made money.<br />July was just another crazy month with that grandstanding 'skinny" bill that McCain thumbed down. taking all the credit after three women had stood up to this BS health care bill, but it didn't end there.<br />Sean Spicer, good old Spicey, (I loved making fun of that guy) resigned and got the hell out of Dodge, then Scaramucci became White House Communications director, he lasted 10 days.

However, it was for Harvey Weinstein and all the monsters like him.<br />There&nbsp; was some actual change this year.<br />Some forward movement and it had nothing to do with Trump.<br />Here is a list of Weinstein's <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/10/27/weinstein-scandal-complete-list-accusers/804663001/" target="_blank">accusers</a><br />Here's to Ronan Farrow, who <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/harvey-weinsteins-army-of-spies" target="_blank">exposed this story</a> and let's not forget the allegations against Woody Allen molesting Ronan's sister, Dylan.<br />Nothing would surprise me.<br />2017. also saw the Penn State pedophile scandal. President Graham Spanier got sentenced, along with Vice President, Gary Schultz, Former Athletic Director Timothy Curvey, for covering up criminal sex acts with children, so Sandusky could victimize more boys.<br />There is no doubt in my mind that there are going to be more stories to come out of Hollyweird and anywhere else children are exploited and victimized. It's about time.<br />I wouldn't look to Washington or Trump to change anything, it's going to come from unexpected places.<br />2018 is probably going to be another chaotic year, look to the things that did change this year, it's only the beginning.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2017/08/general-drama.html" target="_blank"><br /></a>Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-44312896023739522182017-12-17T13:01:00.001-05:002017-12-17T13:32:17.979-05:00The Detroitization Of America and Disclosure in the New York Times.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Doug_Jones_Flag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="753" height="320" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Doug_Jones_Flag.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">NOT a pedophile!

That's how low the bar is set.<br />This is the best Alabama can do.<br />It's pretty sad, because I highly doubt the guy who was elected, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Jones_(politician)" target="_blank">Doug Jones</a> will do anything except vote for more military spending and collect lots of money from corporate donors.<br />If he isn't already a millionaire, he'll likely be one by the time he leaves office.<br />Then there was the whole net neutrality repeal and who is even shocked that Obama appointee, Ajit Pai, (an unfortunate name-if ever there was one) repealed net neutrality?<br />&nbsp;All the phone calls and all the petitions and comments that you see people begging that you do to save the net, really?<br />They don't care. There is nothing you can do or stay to stop these people from collecting money and carrying out corporate directives. That's what you're voting for.<br />Case in point, would be the <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/15/16781952/republican-tax-bill-2018-the-weeds" target="_blank">unpopular Republican tax bill </a>giving corporations a tax cut.<br />It's all going to trickle down all over us peons. The rich have never been richer so, lets just keep them happy, while everyone else scrambles for the crumbs.<br />America sure is great again.<br />I don't know if it was even reported in this country, that the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/dec/15/america-extreme-poverty-un-special-rapporteur" target="_blank">UN is investigating the US</a> with a UN special rapporteur, on extreme poverty and human rights.<br />This UN official went&nbsp; to Alabama, (where they just voted a Democrat senator) interviewed people living in such squalid conditions that there is now a hookworm health crisis, because people are living with raw sewage running under their houses and in their yards.<br />Do you think Doug Jones is going to address this situation?<br />He ran on a platform of MORE national defense spending. In order to get more Army or NASA flight center federal dollars into the Alabama economy. This is what they're left with.<br />The big hope is to get the giant American war machine to keep their shops in Alabama open.<br />&nbsp;Because, I am guessing there's not much else there, if there ever was.<br />This is why, we will never live in a time without the threat of war, because our economy runs on it.<br />The Pentagon is supposed to be<a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-10/pentagon-undergo-first-ever-audit-after-decades-sloppy-accounting-and-missing-trilli" target="_blank"> audited, AGAIN!</a> That's THE really big news this week?<br />Once again I am just left chuckling to myself, I have been writing about the Pentagon and the MIC since <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-your-vote-doesnt-matter.html" target="_blank">2012</a>.<br />They have promised to<a href="https://www.taxpayer.net/budget-appropriations-tax/why-cant-the-pentagon-pass-an-audit/" target="_blank"> audit themselves for 21 years</a> and it never happens and no one's accountable. Trillions have been lost and gone forever, nothing is going to happen.<br />&nbsp;It's a joke.<br />The giant sucking sound of the hollowed out American middle class that goes directly to Washington DC and the Pentagon, then trickles onto millionaire CEO defense contractors.<br />It's not food stamps or Social Security. We would have plenty for social programs, schools and safe drinking water. But that will never happen.<br />Now, it's too the point where the UN is investigating the poverty and disparity here in America, where it will never be great again until we get the monster MIC under control or banish it, altogether.<br />I can't see that happening as long as we have people with this post WWII mindset that everything's just fine as long as we are armed to the teeth with tons of redundant nuclear bombs, while the country crumbles.<br />Does anyone have the mental capacity to stop voting for these people who only care about what resources they can drain from the people with the least to spare? That's why I just don't get how people continue to vote for liar after liar, while you have empty houses and empty strip malls and abandoned malls, while Dollar Store's spring up everywhere. Does anyone make the connection?<br />Now we will get&nbsp; a tax bill giveaway to billionaires rammed down American's throats right before Christmas and everyone will be too buzzed on Egg Nog and fighting for toys at Walmart to even understand how screwed they are.<br />To top it off I read on the front page of the New York Times, something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.<br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/16/us/politics/pentagon-program-ufo-harry-reid.html?hp&amp;action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=second-column-region&amp;region=top-news&amp;WT.nav=top-news" target="_blank">The Pentagon's Mysterious UFO Program</a>.<br />Yep, black money and mysterious programs, who knew?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tf1uLwUTDA0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tf1uLwUTDA0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KbihByDVJ0c/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KbihByDVJ0c?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>Well, I did, since I saw this footage a while ago, it's been leaked for some time and most people would probably call me a conspiracy theorist, but I saw this coming.<br />Now it's on the front page of the New York Times.

I don't know, but I do know that money is disappearing into programs the American people don't know anything about.<br />While we go without and get screwed by the next tax bill.<br />While the people in Alabama and Detroit live in squalor without proper hygiene, we get flying saucers on the front page of the New York Times.<br />Maybe this is the first step towards <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_conspiracy_theory" target="_blank">disclosure</a>?<br />To distract us from the next disaster to come out of Washington DC?<br />The only thing I do know, is that if this isn't a reverse engineered vehicle our Dark Space Project has made. All the military spending in the world won't help with a civilization that advanced.<br />Maybe they'd like to visit Alabama and see how the American government treats it's citizens there?<br /><br /><br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-27370714780913921032017-12-10T14:23:00.000-05:002017-12-10T14:23:09.429-05:00If You Like Your War, You Can Keep Your War<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://scd.en.rfi.fr/sites/english.filesrfi/imagecache/rfi_16x9_1024_578/sites/images.rfi.fr/files/aef_image/2017-12-06t190732z_319783094_rc1b7e7a16e0_rtrmadp_3_usa-trump-israel_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://scd.en.rfi.fr/sites/english.filesrfi/imagecache/rfi_16x9_1024_578/sites/images.rfi.fr/files/aef_image/2017-12-06t190732z_319783094_rc1b7e7a16e0_rtrmadp_3_usa-trump-israel_0.jpg" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="800" height="225" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">More Fake News</td></tr></tbody></table>What can you say about the shit show going on daily in the US?<br />This "declaration" about Jerusalem, everybody having a conniption over this Act, that has been signed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_Embassy_Act" target="_blank">every six months since 1995</a>.

He wanted to get rid of the ACA/Obamacre and that didn't happen. Every time he makes some big announcement he gets a big photo op, like it already happened and he's taking a victory lap.<br />That's all he has to do.<br />Then everyone believes it because it's on TV and it's got to be true, right?<br />I have to wonder if Trump, had to do something to distract people from the Mueller investigation, which is now going through Agent Orange's Deutsche Bank transactions?<br />Trump's got a war going on with CNN. Who even watches that anymore?<br />These people like Wolf Blitzer, lie all the time and helped Bush gin up war in Iraq over WMD's that didn't exist.&nbsp;<br />So, how surprising is it that CNN, MSNBC &amp; CBS report that <a href="https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/" target="_blank">Trump had access to the DNC emails before they were published.</a>&nbsp; Which is false.<br />Who the heck pays for that cable news channel? Only to be told a pack of lies.<br />I can only guess that the rumors about Trump getting up in the morning and turning on Fox &amp; Friends,<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/donald-trump-television-daily-routine-a8101611.html" target="_blank"> watching TV for 8 hours a day</a>, unless, he's golfing are probably true.<br />I have seen people his age, where I used to work and the majority are glued to the TV, all day long. It's really disturbing.<br />It makes so much sense that Trump would be doing this.<br />The more he can do to stay on the tube, the more he likes it.<br />This would explain him blowing up his twitter feed since he's watching TV, instead of reading his briefs. He wants to be on the news all the time.<br />He pretty much succeeds with that goal. Top it off with the useless, co-opted, MSM. The point is when is next fake war going to come along, with the next fake news feed?<br />All year long it's been nothing but Kim Jong and Dotard sharing videos of missiles being launched.

Why should she get money for screwing people over, then she writes a book about it? Does she even feel ashamed of herself? The time to open her mouth is long gone.<br />I'm no fan of Trump, but he's right on target with this tweet. That's scary right there.<br /><br />Next, we've got the almost astounding Arab purge and the arrest of Bush Buddy,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-10/saudi-deep-state-prince-bandar-bin-sultan-among-those-arrested-purge-report" target="_blank">Bandar</a> (read my blog from 2014, <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2014/06/pieces-of-iraq.html" target="_blank">here</a>)&nbsp; I am kind of shocked anything happened to Bandar, since W.

Then, they get a million dollar book deal and tell us how we were stabbed in the back.<br />&nbsp;Every week, there's a new revelation, every day, there's another distraction and most people just aren't paying attention. They are worn out and exhausted from working, let alone trying to pay attention to the avalanche of information you have to sift through, to&nbsp; find out anything close to the truth.<br />You can't tell me that's not purposeful.<br />When you finally, a year after the election, have a high powered official who writes a tell-all book, but didn't tell-all when it counted.<br />When people watched what happened in Nevada, but she had nothing to say then?<br />&nbsp;I can't forget that.

(I blogged about Ukraine &amp; Russia starting in 2013, <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2013/12/ukraine-winter.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2014/02/ukraine-crises-or-opportunity-for-who.html" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://patriciapolygon.blogspot.com/2014/03/beware-ides-of-march_2.html" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />It appears that Manafort had ties to Ukraine's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych" target="_blank">President Yanukovych,</a> who was president from 2010 to 2014. Apparently Gates and Manafort profited from those ties and got millions that were laundered through the US.<br />One thing I was looking at during the Orange Revolution in Ukraine was who would profit from that crisis? Looks like it was Manafort and Gates, along with President Yanukovych, who would eventually flee to Russia.<br />There is an interesting timeline, involving a confluence of events, when it comes to Manafort and the Trump campaign;&nbsp; Manafort joined the Trump campaign back in March 2016, after Trump fired Corey Lewandowski.<br />By June of 2016, there was a meeting at Trump Tower, with Don Jr., Kushner and Manafort with a lawyer who had Kremlin ties. The Senate Intelligence Committee has been <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/356498-senate-investigators-interviewed-russians-from-trump-tower-meeting-with-trump" target="_blank">investigating this meeting</a>, at first Donny Jr. denied it ever happened. Recall, that this meeting happened because these people thought they could get some incriminating evidence on Hillary Clinton.<br />By August of 2016 it was reported that Manafort may have illegally received $12.7 million from The Party of Regions, President Yanukovych's former party.<br />By August 17th Trump had his first security briefing, 2 days later, Manafort resigned and Steve Bannon took his place.So there's some context.<br />&nbsp;Whether there is any evidence, when it comes to Trump's&nbsp; campaign being tied in, remains to be seen. Trump tweeted that there was "<a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">NO COLLUSION</a>"<br />I did have my suspicions about Trump's intentions, when I wrote about the JFK Files last week, that he may have done the CIA/FBI a solid, allowing them to redact more incriminating evidence, in order to stay out of trouble, in case of any dirt the Mueller investigation found out about Trump.<br />That could also include members of Trump's family.<br />Regarding the "softening"of the GOP platform on Russia, during the Trump campaign, the <a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/aug/04/did-trump-campaign-soften-platform-language-benefi/" target="_blank">US would not be giving weapons </a>to Ukraine. Trump denied he was involved, (We&nbsp; just give weapons to the Saudi's and Israel.)<br />Also, on Friday, when the indictments were sealed, a US&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsweek.com/dana-boente-eastern-district-virginia-resigns-mueller-russia-probe-695424" target="_blank">Eastern Virginia Attorney</a> by the name of Dana Boente,&nbsp; resigned, clearing the way for a Trump appointment. There was speculation that Trump could hire someone sympathetic, who could be persuaded to fire Mueller.<br />Then there's speculation that Manafort or Gates will be persuaded to take immunity in order to rat on other rats that haven't jumped ship.<br />So much winning!<br />So, I wonder how long this will actually last? The Las Vegas shooting was about a week.<br />Then we've got those kneeling football players ruining America.

With the further distraction of Trump and the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/18/donald-trump-tells-slain-soldiers-widow-knew-signed/" target="_blank">soldier's widow</a>, to deflect us from that horror show too?<br />Maybe it's the FBI investigation, they have now interviewed <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sean-spicer-robert-mueller-trump-russia-interview-investigation-a8007481.html" target="_blank">Sean Spicer</a>?<br />Could it be that Trump is holding on to some of the files, as a favor to the FBI/CIA in order to gain some kind of favor, during this investigation of him? Mueller, who is in charge of the investigation, was also a major player during<a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/06/21/good-agent-bad-agent-robert-mueller-and-9-11/" target="_blank"> the 9/11 investigation</a>, he is KNOWN for throwing investigations.<br />&nbsp;I wouldn't be expecting anything from that guy.<br />&nbsp;As far as the "release" of the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/2017-release" target="_blank">"new" JFK&nbsp; files</a>, we aren't going to be learning anything these criminal agencies don't want us to know.<br />There will be no evidence that does not back up the official story, that Oswald did it and the Russians were in on it. It is ironic, since the Russians are still in the headlines over 50 years later and we are still supposed to fear them, be very afraid.<br />&nbsp;Right.<br />I am sure there will be a lot of people pouring through the archives, to shed some new light on the lies we were told from day one about the assassination.<br />I won't be one of them.<br />&nbsp;It is nothing but a circular unproductive knot, without resolution.<br />&nbsp;It is nothing more than a distraction from what is really happening to us, now.<br />Is it any coincidence the same day the JFK files were supposed to be released, that Trump goes full on the <a href="https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/4/4/15098746/opioid-heroin-epidemic-race" target="_blank">Opioid Crisis?</a>&nbsp; Does it mean anything to know that Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey and one of the most corrupt politicians in the country, is head of the Opioid Task Force?<br />So, Trump at least remembered to sign the Executive Order, this time, but what is it going to do exactly? Trump can call for a lot of things, like a Public Health Emergency, but without any funding, what is that supposed to do?<br />I guess it's about as useful as saying he's going to release the files about the JFK assassination, but then holds back some for later.<br />&nbsp;It's always a bunch of smoke and mirrors with him.<br />Meanwhile, what's Trump going to do <a href="http://trumpgolfcount.com/" target="_blank">this weekend</a>? Will it be golf in Bedminster? A trip to Mar-A-Lago? So far his golf outings have cost the tax payer; $75,567,520, he didn't even earmark that much money for the Opioid Crisis.<br />The funding last year under President Obama was<a href="http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/297293-funding-bill-includes-37-million-for-opioid-crisis" target="_blank"> for $37,000,000.</a><br />It's really weird how the last heroin crisis we had was during Vietnam and nothings changed. JFK,had a hand in that war, contributing to more drug addiction. Here we are again.

I have seen estimates of over a dozen Senators in attendance, out of 100 Senators. This tells me, not only are they lazy bastards, but they knew what Flake was up to and didn't want to rile Trump up listening to Flake go off.<br />Cui Bono<br />Who benefits?<br />What kind of deal is going on? There has got to be something in this for Flake.<br />He's trying to say he's got some kind of Conscience, but the evidence says he does not.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/luDFFiOxwdk/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/luDFFiOxwdk?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>He's been known to lie.<br />Especially when it comes to his sketchy past as a lobbyist in Namibia, representing the interests of Rio Tinto's Uranium mine.<br />Does good old Flake have another sweet deal with the Rio Tinto mining company?<br />&nbsp;In the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act., Both Flake and John McCain snuck in a <a href="http://southlandnewsbureau.com/news/?m=201512" target="_blank">giveaway of sacred Apache land to Rio Tinto.&nbsp;</a><br />&nbsp;I am sure Rio Tinto owes him their gratitude.<br />Flake voted to repeal Obamacare with nothing to replace or offer Americans.<br />Yeah, he's got a conscience.<br />He sold out and voted to allow telecom companies to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/29/15100620/congress-fcc-isp-web-browsing-privacy-fire-sale" target="_blank">sell consumer data.</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/e19bc69fa4e18c2d4745b705dffb1e3a024c3b20/c=99-0-554-342&amp;r=x404&amp;c=534x401/local/-/media/2017/05/09/Phoenix/Phoenix/636298870788531289-flakebillboard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="401" data-original-width="534" height="240" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/e19bc69fa4e18c2d4745b705dffb1e3a024c3b20/c=99-0-554-342&amp;r=x404&amp;c=534x401/local/-/media/2017/05/09/Phoenix/Phoenix/636298870788531289-flakebillboard1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I am sure Flake has a plan, maybe to go back to the <a href="http://goldwaterinstitute.org/" target="_blank">Goldwater Institute</a>, where he was Executive Director. Good old Grover Norquist is on the Board of Directors.This is where his "Conscience of a Conservative" reboot came from in the first place. Also, a guy named <a href="http://goldwaterinstitute.org/team/le-templar/" target="_blank">Templer,</a> has connections to Mesa, Arizona, where Flake's home is.<br />Flake knows his re-election chances are over. The <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/08/23/uh-oh-poll-has-sen-jeff-flake-trailing-gop-primary-challenger-by-14-points-n2371992" target="_blank">latest poll</a> shows him trailing his opponent by 14 points.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/26/robert-mercer-breitbart-war-on-media-steve-bannon-donald-trump-nigel-farage" target="_blank"> Robert Mercer</a> the hedge fund billionaire who backed Trump is going to fund Kelli Ward, who would be running against Flake in 2018.<br />Flake is no hero, more likely he's a coward. He holds the party line and votes with Trump. His future, rest assured will be well compensated.<br /><a href="http://southlandnewsbureau.com/news/?m=201512" target="_blank"><br /></a><br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-25987997033413677062017-10-15T11:53:00.001-04:002017-10-15T13:05:09.506-04:00When Roosters Come Home To Roost<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://33.media.tumblr.com/9ab18dcb13436d0a5f6c16dae1098026/tumblr_inline_nam1rliPhT1r4gjsq.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/9ab18dcb13436d0a5f6c16dae1098026/tumblr_inline_nam1rliPhT1r4gjsq.jpg" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="500" height="320" width="290" /></a></div>I really wish I could say I've never come into contact with dudes like this.

Since when has that ever happened?<br />A lot of people have no faith in the police or the FBI's timeline at all. People are over believing the "official stories." they've been burned with; from the&nbsp; Gulf of Tonkin to JFK, to 9/11, now they don't believe anything anymore.<br />&nbsp;I have seen all the theories out there, I don't have any idea of what's true or what's not. I am leaning towards MGM screwing up royally and trying to do damage control so they won't lose millions in lawsuits<br />&nbsp;The creepy guy who killed and wounded all those people, played video poker for 14 hours a day, he would rather interact with a machine than a human, that is, when he wasn't amassing enough fire power to start a small war and don't get me started on his weird brother.<br />Who the hell <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-las-vegas-shooting-live-updates-gunman-s-brother-if-a-lot-of-these-1507168374-htmlstory.html" target="_blank">acts like this</a> when there's a horrible tragedy?<br />&nbsp;Who talks about money like this and tries to justify his parasitic life of living off his brother by saying not everyone works at Taco Bell?<br />Seriously, there's something very wrong with these Paddock people.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HGJAIEdJtFM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HGJAIEdJtFM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>In D.C., the week started out with Senator Corker telling us the White House is running an adult day care center, which only made me laugh.<br />&nbsp;Doddering Dotard, who for the second time, forgot to sign an Executive Order, to gut Obamacare, Pence had to chase after him and tell him to sign.<br />It could take a long time to take subsidies away from Obamacare, I can't even find a date other than the <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/12/trump-obamacare-executive-congress-243696" target="_blank">middle of next year</a>.<br />I have no love for Obama, but why do this?

How many do we need? Seriously, is there ever enough for these psychopathic dudes?<br />Rex Tillerson must be a moron too, to continue working for one.<br />They should both take I.Q. tests. Maybe that should be a prerequisite for a position of power.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Then there's the Iran Nuclear Treaty "<a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2017/10/13/16464084/trump-iran-nuclear-deal-decertify" target="_blank">decertification</a>" I was like, is that a thing? Can you "decertify" something that other countries signed too? It just looks like Dotard gets a bug up his ass and then he's got to make something happen. Like have a big speech. But a speech doesn't mean anything.<br />Actions are what you look at and all he can do is sign some papers, or make it look like he actually did something, then run off to Mar-A-Lago or Bedminster to golf. Why?<br />Because Trump "<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/10/donald-trump-is-unraveling-white-house-advisers" target="_blank">hates</a> everyone in the White House."<br />I think Trump used to have a life set up more like Weinstein or Paddock.<br />Those dudes really didn't have to deal with anyone they didn't want to or maybe even anything at all. Weinstein isn't alone when it comes to allegations of sexual misconduct. Donald Trump has had <a href="https://jezebel.com/donald-trump-allegedly-forced-his-tongue-down-the-throa-1787734795" target="_blank">his share too</a>. God only knows what we'll find about these dudes, and their double lives, they are able to keep hidden because of money or influence. They literally do not care if they drone some people or try to coerce a woman to sleep with them for a future starring role, or shoot up a concert.<br />It's just business to them. "Not everyone works for Taco Bell", "sometimes gambling's just like a job."<br />Until the last gamble doesn't pay off, until you find you have overextended yourself, until you have just flat run out of luck. That's what happens to these psychopaths. Like Stephen Paddocks father, who also led a <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/las-vegas-shooter-stephen-paddocks-father-was-once-the-fbis-most-wanted-man" target="_blank">double life</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.bet.com/news/national/2017/10/02/stephen-paddock-s-father-is-felon-on-fbi-most-wanted-list/_jcr_content/image.heroimage.dimg/__1506972111375/100117-news-Father-pf-Vegas-shooter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="800" height="160" src="https://www.bet.com/news/national/2017/10/02/stephen-paddock-s-father-is-felon-on-fbi-most-wanted-list/_jcr_content/image.heroimage.dimg/__1506972111375/100117-news-Father-pf-Vegas-shooter.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I don't know why authorities are so surprised when these people lead a double life, it's not like it came from nowhere. I know I have had run in's with more than my share of these people, who are capable of so much chaos &amp; confusion. It get's to the point where you know them when you see them, from the trail of nonsense they leave behind them. The less money they have the less they are able to cover their problems up. I have seen them get dragged off to psych wards for calling up authorities &amp; impersonating people from other countries with weird accents, to getting hauled off by the cops for spitting on them.<br />You don't need money to be a psychopath. You just need to be heartless and ruthless. The most troubling thing about the Stephen Paddock's and the Harvey Weinstein's is they are everywhere. They are in your neighborhood and at the Walmart. Once you have had an encounter with one, you never look at people the same way again.<br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-17624710319482399602017-10-03T12:25:00.000-04:002017-10-03T12:35:57.283-04:00Guns and Guitars<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gunsguitars.com/images/pics/GunsGuitarsStore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.gunsguitars.com/images/pics/GunsGuitarsStore.jpg" data-original-height="388" data-original-width="450" height="170" width="200" /></a></div>It wasn't lost on me,the irony, that Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter bought his guns at a place called "Guns &amp; Guitars."<br />&nbsp;While he was busy shooting, American icon, musician, Tom Petty, was leaving this world.<br />These guys were both in the same age bracket and that is all they had in common.<br />One man was creative and wrote the soundtrack for our day to day American lives.<br />Tom Petty, struggled with addiction and beat it. He had a violent upbringing and rose above it, bringing joy and comfort in bad times to people around the world. He will be missed.<br />On the other hand, it seems that the Las Vegas murderer, Mr. Paddock, was addicted to gambling, made millions and God only knows what his upbringing was like; his father was a diagnosed psychopath and bank robber.<br />I can't imagine what it would be like to grow up with that kind of burden. I am sure at that time there was no thought of the lasting psychological damage that caused.<br />According to his family, he was "just a guy" I find it hard to believe there wasn't one red flag that smelled "off" to someone. I can't find an answer to how someone, who was supposedly a "normal guy," could stockpile 42 weapons, thousands of rounds of ammo and explosives. You just don't buy that in a day or a week, it takes planning and time, money wasn't a problem, I guess.<br />He was described as a "Lone Wolf" yeah, ok. I haven't ever heard of a wolf who killed that many people and injured over 500 more. So let's stop with this weird romanticized "Lone Wolf" label. There are too many of these white male's to keep calling them a "Lone Wolf."<br />Why do so many white guys do this? Why do some men pick up a guitar and another a gun?<br />How is it that one person can buy that many weapons?<br />This country is awash in guns and that will not change.<br />It is a proxy war by corporate powers and the NRA to keep American citizens in a frightened and helpless state.<br />What do we do, when we hear of another shooting, another blood bath? We shake our heads and just go on. Weapons of war are used on the American people daily, if not by the police, then it's our armed neighbors and so it goes...<br />Lots of thoughts and prayers and then there will be some lame attempt at gun control, but nothing will happen that will stop corporate donations rolling in and the carnage to continue.<br />In 2017, there have been, <a href="http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/" target="_blank">35,403</a>&nbsp; deaths and injuries due to gun violence. (not including the recent massacre) Let me add another stat to that, there were <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates" target="_blank">60,000</a> drug overdoses in 2016.<br />Seriously, between the guns and the drugs, what is going on in this country that is causing this amount of human misery? That's close to 100,000 people and the stats aren't all in for 2017.<br />If there was a raging epidemic of some virus killing 100,000 people something would be done about it.<br />How is it that people in 2017 don't have the tools to deal with the stress and despair in their lives?<br />It's like we have chosen mass murder and suicide instead of trying to solve these problems in any meaningful way.<br />I don't know the answers to these problems, the artist in me wants to shut down all the gun shops and give free guitars to anyone who wants a gun. Pick up a guitar, not a gun.<br />I know, for myself, at my bleakest times it was music that saved me. It was art that kept me going.<br />I taught my kids to play the guitar and paint and sing.<br />When I was in a band, a long time ago, Tom Petty was on our set list.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AAMuL087fAY/WdO4Fyxv41I/AAAAAAAAAs8/Yr97wUvzjL0AVVfB4Cp3LKFpPIx5MlHJwCEwYBhgL/s1600/20171003_120819%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="961" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AAMuL087fAY/WdO4Fyxv41I/AAAAAAAAAs8/Yr97wUvzjL0AVVfB4Cp3LKFpPIx5MlHJwCEwYBhgL/s400/20171003_120819%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">That's me, in the band</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Despite the heartbreak in this country, there is still beauty, and music.<br />Unfortunately along with all the people who lost their lives at a concert&nbsp; in Las Vegas, we lost Tom Petty too.<br />RIP to all the lives lost.<br />This was one of Tom Petty's songs we played back in the day, it's probably pretty appropriate.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qNxfPAF1frM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qNxfPAF1frM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-36411171033779695012017-09-24T14:06:00.004-04:002017-09-24T14:06:49.149-04:00Game Of ChickenThe week started out for me watching Ken Burns much hyped The Vietnam War series. All I can say about it is wow. I don't know where Burns has been for the last forty years, but his interpretation of The Vietnam War is so far from reality, I just couldn't stomach it.<br />I got to the second episode and couldn't take anymore. It's just one big mistake according to him and no mention of the why; the <a href="https://www.usni.org/magazines/navalhistory/2008-02/truth-about-tonkin" target="_blank">Gulf of Tonkin incident</a>, which we now know did not happen, not the way the propaganda at the time said it happened. It was funded by Bank of America, which I should have known then, what direction this thing was going in.<br />Not going to watch 18 hours of that drivel. But it's a good job of white washing history, if that's what you like, being told fairy tales and outright lies isn't my thing.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I grew up with that war and it seems to me there has been very little time in my life not living with some fearsome enemy, only now it's on steroids. I can go to bed at night after seeing Kim Jong-un's missile videos, then in the morning, when I get up, Dotard Trump's missile videos and not to be outdone, Iran shows a missile video;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K1TMyPcovrQ/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K1TMyPcovrQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another video, really?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Seriously, I wonder who else has some footage for another missile video?&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What's going to be the newest Gulf of Tonkin incident, for the next excuse for a war?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">&nbsp;Don't we have enough going on?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">From what I understand Puerto Rico has no electricity and a dam that has failed, affecting thousands of people, but what's the big story?&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Trump cussed out a football player and now there's a &nbsp;big rebellion by the NFL.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">&nbsp;Dotard has NOT been able to do anything since he got elected but tweet.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's all a big distraction to cover his fail of an administration.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I guess that's a good thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then there's the dog and pony show of the repeal and replace or the just repeal and not replace that these criminals in DC keep wasting time on, so they look like they are doing something.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They don't have the votes, but that doesn't matter, because Lindsey Graham is bad at math, so he's going to try again and probably fail.

This plan is supposed to, wait for it..."heavily benefit high income &nbsp;taxpayers," such a surprise.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm not holding my breath for anything when it comes to the idiots in Washington, but if they can find a way to help their rich benefactors, this might be the only legislature that actually passes, besides the billions of dollars given away, to the black hole that is known as the Pentagon. It's another speech I won't watch, like the one Dotard made at the UN, threatening to annihilate millions of people.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I guess tomorrow will start another week of MSM propaganda missile videos or Dotard's tweets, so we can get caught up in a massive game of chicken.

Where is the proof? Is it in this video?<br />&nbsp;I didn't see any. Why didn't he run for president if he knows so much?<br />Then we have Mr. Art of the War Deal, calling Kin Jong-Un, Rocket Man.<br />At first I thought he was talking about the Elton John song, but no!<br />I guess it really is lonely out in space.<br />&nbsp;The space between Trumps ears.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8mstcJDHaGE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8mstcJDHaGE?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>No where in Trumps speech, with his litany of North Korean atrocities, does he ever say America is guilty of the same in all our escapades all over the world.<br />This only happened on Tuesday.<br />What are we in for the rest of the week?<br />Both of these speeches have something in common, they are engineered for, maximum attention seeking.<br />I like John Kelley's reaction to Trumps speech<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://verifiedpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/JohnKelly-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://verifiedpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/JohnKelly-1.jpg" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="800" height="164" width="320" /></a></div>I am involved in a lot of projects right now, it's so hard even paying attention to stuff that just doesn't make sense.

Nope.<br />I seriously doubt she's got any fucks to give for the people of Libya or the never ending wars, going on now.<br />I think one of the reasons Trump was so successful, was because he said he wanted to get us out of these wars.<br />Of course it was lies, and he's no better than she is.<br />The Democrats are nothing but a big fail, with Hillary as the leader of that corrupt party of nothing.<br />I have no love for Republicans either. Both parties aren't doing a damn thing they are elected to do. It's plain to see. That's really what's happening, more war and more money for the MIC.<br />I wish she would just go away, but, she's probably got a few more books up her sleeve.<br />Go build some houses with Jimmy Carter for Christ's sake, try and do something useful.<br />Start in Florida or Texas, where people have lost their homes, then write about that.<br />I might actually read that book.<br />In Washington, what's happening is Bernie Sander's trying to get "healthcare for all" and good luck with that.<br />It's never going to happen.<br />What would health un-insurance companies do then? Politicians would stop getting their <strike>bribes</strike>&nbsp;donations. They have no interest in getting Americans up to speed like every other industrialized nation with a national healthcare system.<br />It would be easy to pay for, by ending the trillion dollar wars we're fighting.<br />That won't happen either. It's a joke.<br />Then we have the DACA Dreamers debacle. I've got no problem with immigrants or kids being in this country through no fault of their own.<br />My big problem is if they can come in, can I get out?<br />I'd love to live in another country, but the trouble is, every where I want to go, there are procedures and rules.

Although, it probably would be exciting, (I know, it's so Sound of Music) I can also see it would be too much of a pain in the ass. I don't think I could get political asylum, because I don't like living in a country where Trump is President, no matter how much other countries think he's a whack job too.

Ripped off by contractors or waiting years for FEMA funds to trickle down on them. It's better than it was here, but there are still houses that have been abandoned. It is a myth that the federal government is going to step in and give compensation for all the losses that occur in a disaster situation.<br />The insurance companies will balk over wind damage or water damage and the people in Houston, like here in New Jersey, probably did not have near enough flood insurance.<br />Getting insurance companies to pay is another nightmare. They are in business to make a profit, not to pay out when a disaster comes calling.<br />Then you have &nbsp;a "photo opportunity president" that comes calling.<br />"Heckuva job Brownie!" Bush and " <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2012/10/obama-pledges-no-red-tape-in-sandy-response-083068" target="_blank">No Red Tape</a>!" Obama and now "<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/president-trump-to-hurricane-harvey-survivors-have-a-good-time" target="_blank">Have a Good Time!</a>" Trump.<br />It is such a good time trying to get FEMA funding, dealing with your insurance company.<br />It's a real party.<br />The average citizen who has nothing, will be forced to live in moldy flooded homes.<br />I know people who are still living in conditions like this. They did not have insurance and couldn't afford to re-mediate their homes.<br />We have another upcoming emergency of our government running out of money and money for Harvey survivors is going to be tied to it, I am guessing.<br />I wonder how much money we are spending in Afghanistan and how much funding the people of Houston will get in disaster relief?<br />I understand there was no call for people to evacuate from Houston, because it would have created a logistical nightmare. Almost no one I know here in Jersey evacuated from Sandy. They simply had no where to go, which I suspect, was the case in Houston.<br />We have people who live and work in low lying coastal flood areas, but no way of evacuating them when a storm is headed their way.<br />Houston &nbsp;is 1/4 of our economy and the chemical plants and oil companies that are now digging out, will take years to recover and may just start over somewhere else, if they can.<br />To top it off, Hurricane Irma is making it's way towards the Southeast US. What's the plan for that?<br />I just don't get it. How many damn hurricanes do you need to get before there is some kind of cogent plan put forth?<br />The answer; there never will be one.<br />We bumble our way through war after war and we do the same thing, disaster after disaster. While charlatans and con artists rip off people trying to rebuild. Just like the mercenaries and defense contractors in the Middle East.<br />We never learn.<br />What I did learn was that in Houston, people got in their boats and didn't wait for an overwhelmed police force to rescue people, they did it themselves.<br />Congress and the Senate will waste time, dithering in DC, while people need real help, now, not later. &nbsp;If that help does come a lot of the money will get diverted by people in power with projects they throw to their construction company friends or<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stronger_than_the_Storm" target="_blank"> big advertising campaigns</a> to get them re-elected.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P9nNYObBphw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P9nNYObBphw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sandy funds used for Christie's re-election campaign.<br />I really hope Houston is "stronger than the storm" it's going to be an uphill battle. Houston will sadly, have to face doing much of it on their own.<br />Have a good time with that. &nbsp;Houston will be a do-it-yourself recovery, just like at the Jersey Shore. People going to endless meetings and all the donations made to shady places that never got to the people who needed them. Be careful who you donate to.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tuyy60Q3ztI/WawrvQEGxsI/AAAAAAAAArQ/VHge4gpBEtUNhHy60twYQTB_fZ5P1e58ACLcBGAs/s1600/13925078_10208739604959217_6742984709813846311_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="590" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tuyy60Q3ztI/WawrvQEGxsI/AAAAAAAAArQ/VHge4gpBEtUNhHy60twYQTB_fZ5P1e58ACLcBGAs/s640/13925078_10208739604959217_6742984709813846311_n.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-19007139074396326492017-08-21T17:39:00.000-04:002017-08-21T17:39:23.605-04:00Might As Well Face It, We're Addicted To War.While people are still playing with their eclipse glasses, it's time to trot out more war.<br />&nbsp;With Trump unable to do a damn thing, one thing he can do is continue an unpopular war no one wants. He's gonna give a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/21/donald-trump-send-4-000-more-troops-afghanistan/585488001/" target="_blank">great big speech</a>, so news channels will have something to talk about.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8hRDM6V0AAMrT-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="800" height="152" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8hRDM6V0AAMrT-.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Not that it matters. Any president with as many generals as Trump has, is going to be influenced by the Pentagon. Maybe, he's influenced by Betsy DaVos brother, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Prince" target="_blank">Erik Prince</a>, you know where he works? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academi" target="_blank">Academi</a> a/k/a <a href="http://www.salon.com/2007/10/02/blackwater_bush/" target="_blank">Blackwater</a>.<br />&nbsp;I have done my share of blogging about the Bush Administration and their ties to Halliburton and Blackwater, I am not shocked, that the same old, same old playbook is going to come out, AGAIN.<br />I won't listen to Trump's speech.<br />I really don't care what he has to say.<br />I know it's going to be a con to send more troops and spend more money in Afghanistan.<br />We can't have single payer healthcare or anything else to improve Americans lives, so lets double down on war. He does not care and he's got no problem sending more people off to die.<br />Bush did it, Obama did it, and now I guess its Trump's turn to be a tool and &nbsp;give us another heaping, stinking helping of waste, in a country we never had any business being in.<br />I expect for most Americans, it will be a big yawn, or the media will make such an American flag and apple pie spectacle of it, you'll have to use your eclipse glasses again, to keep the rockets red glare from burning your eyes out.<br />&nbsp;If anyone actually protests against ANOTHER surge, I will be shocked.<br />If Nazi's march it's bad, but war? Who cares?<br />People are so used to it by now, it's just another day.<br />I don't even know why he's going to give a speech?<br />He doesn't have to convince anyone of anything. He's just going to do what he damn well pleases, like he's always done.<br />His kids aren't going to fight in Afghanistan and Trump dodged the Vietnam War draft.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgflip.com/14jpuu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://i.imgflip.com/14jpuu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>A real patriot.<br />So I guess, John McCain will be happy and Lindsey Graham, that Trump will send more troops and order billions of dollars worth of equipment, American exceptional welfare for Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin and various privatised caterers and mercenaries.<br />The Military Industrial Complex, paid a lot of bribes and they want a return on their investment and now Donnie's got to cough it up.<br />There's no end in sight and I doubt anyone in congress or the senate will do anything but go along with the whole charade.<br />Meanwhile teachers are scrambling for materials for their classrooms and struggling parents are trying to save enough to buy new back-to-school shoes for their kids, from their three crappy jobs they hold down, with no benefits.<br />They aren't going to watch that speech on TV, they can't afford cable.<br />If it's any comfort, It would have been the same if it was Hillary or Trump.<br />America is married to bombing, invading, sending Americans off to get killed or maimed, maybe if their lucky, when they get back, they won't commit suicide.<br />This is Bush's legacy, it's also Obama's and now it's yours Trump.<br />So much winning.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/m17-092.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="180" src="https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/m17-092.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Not a good omen.<br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-58246446386112853462017-08-18T16:27:00.001-04:002017-08-18T16:30:56.240-04:00Friday Firings At The White HouseIt's always on a Friday and if I was on Trumps staff I'd be super anxious at the end of the week.<br />Who didn't see this coming?<br />General Kelly and Bannon "mutually agreed" Friday would be Bannon's last day. Yeah, right.<br />Bannon is the 10th person to resign or be fired. Who's next? Sessions? Trump has said if he had known Sessions was going to recuse himself, he would have picked somebody else.<br />Stay tuned, for next Fridays episode of;<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHhueJRXoAAsZ7M.jpg:large" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="715" height="320" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHhueJRXoAAsZ7M.jpg:large" width="286" /></a></div><br />How much of a coincidence is it that less than a week after Charlottesville, Bannon is out?<br />Now he's supposed to be going after Trump at Breitbart, the way he went after Obama, since he doesn't see any difference between them.<br />I don't read that rag but it might be fun now!<br />This non stop musical chair game is just too much winning! Trump sure is draining the swamp.<br />It seems like the only thing Trump has managed to do in 200 days of his presidency is fire people, just like on the apprentice!<br />Wonder who Bannon's replacement will be? David Duke?<br />It kind of makes me wonder if Trump will just <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/art-of-the-deal-donald-trump-resign-us-president-predict-tony-schwartz-a7898526.html" target="_blank">fire himself like his ghost writer said</a>.<br />Seriously, I don't think anyone's job is safe there, except for Trump's kids. I usually don't &nbsp;plan too far in advance, but I am definitely going to get some popcorn. I'm looking forward to next Friday!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rY0WxgSXdEE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rY0WxgSXdEE?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br />Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.com0
